does the AMD mac mini support a second harddrive?

Yes, though make sure to look up installation instructions online. (there are at least a couple videos on YouTube on installing a second hard drive in the current Mac mini)
If you're going the two HD route, I recommend this kit:

All of the parts, tools, instructions you'll need. Excellent price too - I didn't want to have to hunt down the correct rubber gromets, screws, tools, etc.. Everything for $45 + $3-$4 shipping plus a very detailed instruction guide, I doubt I could have done better.

Yes Indeed
Yes you can, I did mine on friday night.
I bought the kit mentioned above from OWC ( cable and tool kit ) as I couldn't get it easily in the UK.
I have to say its worth the money and the addition of either an extra drive for either raid or a ssd boot drive is superb.
There's not much room inside the Mini but its well worth the effort IMO.
Go for it!

Go for it!
it will void warranty.
of course if you can set it back to stock you might be able to cheat.
it will run hot.
it is not that easy .
you can buy this
as an alternative.
